The early bird tickets have now sold out, but follow Tweet Up on Twitter to get warning of new tix. You can see details of last year's event here. Oh - and they organised the amazing Ribstock too!

"UK Chilli Stand Off is back! After last year’s sell-out success, UK Chilli Stand Off returns this November, with 8 great chefs to compete for the title of UK Chilli Champion 2012.Last year saw madcap chef Carl Clarke defy the odds and emerge victorious, beating a fearsome line-up of competitors that included The Fat Duck's Chef Jocky, street food heroes Lucky Chip and food writer and television presenter Gizzi Erskine. We had some great write-ups of the event, for example here and here. This year’s competition promises to be bigger and better, with an exciting new line-up of competitors, a great new venue, DJs and live music, alongside tequila and Texan beers from the Milk & Honey festival bar and a selection of sweet street food vendors.Early Bird tickets are £35 to taste all eight chillies and include two Texan beers, a tequila cocktail and some Tweat Up suprises on the day.With a ticket to the noon tasting you can access the venue from 11am, with chilli tasting taking place 12pm - 3pm.
